14、ing test pieces for physical test methods 4 DIN ISO 7619-1:2012-02 Introduction The hardness of rubber, as measured by a durometer (Shore hardness) or an IRHD pocket meter, is determined from the response of the rubber to an applied indentation. The response is a complex one and will depend upon: a)
15、 the elastic modulus of the rubber; b) the viscoelastic properties of the rubber; c) the thickness of the test piece; d) the geometry of the indentor; e) the pressure exerted; f) the rate of increase of pressure; g) the interval after which the hardness is recorded. Because of these factors, it is i
16、nadvisable to relate results using a durometer (Shore hardness) directly to IRHD values, although correlations have been established for some individual rubbers and compounds. Durometers were originally portable hand-held instruments that have proved to be particularly convenient for making measurem
17、ents on products. Some laboratories now also use them on a stand with a weight applied to the pressure foot in order to improve precision. NOTE ISO 481specifies hardness measurements for determination of hardness between 10 IRHD and 100 IRHD. Further information on the relationship between the durom
18、eter values and IRHD values is given in the literature567. Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic Determination of indentation hardness Part 1: Durometer method (Shore hardness) 5 DIN ISO 7619-1:2012-02 WARNING Persons using this part of ISO 7619 should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This
19、 part of ISO 7619 does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. CAUTION Certain procedures specified

24、d is the depth of penetration of a specified indentor forced into the material under specified conditions. 6 DIN ISO 7619-1:2012-02 When using durometers, the scale should be chosen as follows: for values less than 20 with a type D durometer: type A; for values less than 20 with a type A durometer:
25、type AO; for values over 90 with a type A durometer: type D; for thin test pieces (less than 6 mm thick): type AM. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Durometer types A, D and AO These durometers consist of the components specified in 4.1.1 to 4.1.5. 4.1.1 Pressure foot The pressure foot for types A and D shall have a
26、diameter of 18 mm 0,5 mm and a central hole of diameter 3 mm 0,1 mm. For type AO, the pressure foot shall have a minimum area of 500 mm2with a central hole of diameter 5,4 mm 0,2 mm. The tolerances on the dimension of the central hole and the requirement for the size of the pressure foot only apply
27、to instruments used on a stand. 4.1.2 Indentor The indentor shall be formed from a hardened-steel rod of diameter 1,25 mm 0,15 mm to the shape and dimensions shown in Figure 1 for type A durometers and Figure 2 for type D durometers. Type AO durometers shall have a round indentor with a radius of 2,
28、5 mm 0,02 mm in accordance with Figure 3. 4.1.3 Indicating device This is a device for allowing the extent of protrusion of the point of the indentor beyond the face of the pressure foot to be read. It shall be calibrated directly in terms of units ranging from 0 for the maximum protrusion of 2,50 m
29、m 0,02 mm to 100 for zero protrusion obtained by placing the pressure foot and indentor in firm contact with a suitable flat, hard surface (e.g. glass). 4.1.4 Calibrated spring This is used to apply a force, F, expressed in millinewtons, to the indentor in accordance with one of the following equati

36、,25 mm 0,01 mm to 100 for zero protrusion obtained by placing the pressure foot and indentor in firm contact with a suitable flat, hard surface (e.g. glass). 4.2.4 Calibrated spring This is used to apply a force, F, expressed in millinewtons, to the indentor in accordance with the equation: F = 324
37、+ 4,4HAMwhere HAMis the hardness reading taken from the type AM durometer. 4.2.5 Automatic timing device (optional) The timer shall be automatically activated when the pressure foot is in contact with the test piece and shall indicate the end of the test time or lock the test value at its completion
38、. Use of a timing device for the test time improves precision. The time tolerance shall be 0,3 s. 4.3 Stand 4.3.1 Better precision is obtained by using a stand with a weight centred on the axis of the indentor to apply the pressure foot to the test piece. Durometer types A, D and AO may be used eith
39、er as pocket meters by hand or mounted on a stand. Type AM durometers shall always be mounted on a stand. 4.3.2 The operating stand shall be capable of supporting the pressure-foot surface of the durometer parallel to the test piece support table. 4.3.3 The stand shall be capable of applying the tes
40、t piece to the indentor, or vice versa, without shock. NOTE A maximum speed of 3,2 mm/s has been found to be suitable. 4.3.4 The total mass of the durometer and extra mass to overcome the spring force shall be: 0,101+kg for types A and AO; 0,505+kg for type D; 0,0500,25+kg for type AM. 9 DIN ISO 761

For the determination of hardness using type AM durometers,
44、the thickness of the test piece shall be at least 1,5 mm. For sheets thinner than 6 mm and 1,5 mm (see above), the test piece may be composed of not more than three layers, in order to obtain the necessary thickness. However, determinations made on such test pieces might not agree with those made on
45、 single-layer test pieces. For comparative-test purposes, the test pieces shall be similar. NOTE Measurements made on thin test pieces of soft rubber will be influenced by the support table and will give a result which is too high. 10 DIN ISO 7619-1:2012-02 5.3 Surface The other dimensions of the te
46、st piece shall be sufficient to permit measurements at least 12 mm away from any edge for types A and D, and 15 mm and 4,5 mm away from any edge for type AO and type AM, respectively. The surface of the test piece shall be flat and parallel over an area sufficient to permit the pressure foot to come
47、 into contact with the test piece over an area having a radius of at least 6 mm from the indentor point for types A and D, 9 mm for type AO and 2,5 mm for type AM. Satisfactory hardness determinations cannot be made on rounded, uneven or rough surfaces using durometers. However, their use in certain
48、 specialized applications is recognized, e.g. ISO 7267-23for the determination of the hardness of rubber-covered rolls. In such applications, the limitations to their use shall be clearly identified. 6 Conditioning and test temperature Where practical, test pieces shall be conditioned immediately before testing for a minimum period of 1 h at one of the standard laboratory temperatures specified in ISO 23529. The same temperature shall be used throughout an
